FRIDAY GRATEFUL POST

Good Morning Everyone,

It's going to be a great day today even though it is pretty cold outside ( 31* ) for Texas that is.   LOL   We all have so very much in our lives to be grateful for.     Today I am grateful for another chance of making better food choices than I did yesterday.....Grateful that i can actually lose weight now since my WLS ( over 7 yrs. ago ) and grateful that I can be active ( walk or run ) and not get tired.    I remember before my WLS I was extremely winded when I walked maybe 50'.     Grateful for all the friends that I have made here on OH who totally "get me" and all the things that we WLS patients go through from time to time.   Grateful for all the amazing people here on the message boards and the one's who post and answer to posts in order to help people with questions and concerns they might have.    Grateful for LIFE !!!    PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today and have a blessed friday and weekend.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

I am grateful that my mom got to come home from the hospital this morning, she had pancreatitis and was in alot of pain, they put a tube up her nose and down her throat, she had to keep it there for two and a half days and no food or drink.  She's eating clear fluids today and they are going to do a mri on her next week.  she also had a lumbar laminectomy on her back in December, her back still kills her, i guess i''ve been stressed out the last couple of months worrying about her, my eating habits have been awful and i haven't been excersising  i just pray that she continues to heal and that i can get back on track,  God is good and I know he is in control....

Carol....I will pray for your mom to get much better.   Remember YOU are important too and you need to take care of yourself.    Don't wait....get back on track today before you experience a weight gain.   Trust me...those weight gains are HARD to get off.    You will feel better about everything if you take care of you and your body now while you are experiencing stress.    I know first hand about this.    LOL  I live on stress daily.    After our WLS the weight comes off pretty quickly....but after a again...sometimes it takes a very long time to get it off if it ever comes off.    Word of advice from me...take care of YOU  !!!!  You both will be in my thoughts and prayers !!!!   Big hugs coming your way !!!
